    THE POLICE
[Before Mr. Commissioner Baezlett. ]
William H. Kern, Er-Provost Marshal, A.r.
ratted on the Charge at:Forgery—lnterest.
ing Developments.
Wm. H. Km—formerly_ a, captain in the Union
array ; more recently the provost marshal at Phila
delphia, and still more recently - discharged from the
service of the United States—was arraigned yester
day afternoon before United States Commissioner
Charles Hcazlett on the charge of'"forgery l p and
enticing soldiers to desert .from the service of the
United States.”
For some time past there has been considerable
irregularity in the mail arrangements: misunder
standings arose therefrom, much dissatisfaction en
sued, and officers, clerks, &c, in the service of the
United States Government were annoyed and per
plexed. Finally, Certain officials perfected a plan to
ferret out the reason why there should be irregula
rities, and thus being on the;qui vive, a certain deve
lopment took place on Monday, which led to the
arrest of Wm, H. Kern. He was taken before Al
derman Heftier, who held him to bail to appear be
fore the United States Commissioner.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon he appeared
before that United States officer. He was repre
sented by Daniel Dougherty, Esq.
.Mr. Coffey, the
United States District Attorney, conducted the
cause for the Government. The defendant was
charged with forging the name of Jacob R. Freae,
assistant adjutant general, to the discharge papers
of a soldier named Beverly Cotes, of the 95th Regi
ment P. V. The following brief of the evidenee
explains the subject, and thus we present all .the
interesting particulars to the reader : -
Jacob R. Freas sworn.—l am assistant adjutant
general with the rank of captain in the. service of
the United States ; I know the defendant, Wm. H.
Kern; I understood that he is not now in the service
of the United States ; I knew that he was discharg
ed ; I do not know Beverly Cotes personally; among
the mail matter yesterday there came a paper from
Captain E. -- endorsing a notification of the dis
charge of Corporal Beverly Cotes, and asking me if
it was genuine ; the letter is dated Harsh 11th, 95th
Regiment, P. V., near White Oak Church, Va.; this
letter was directed to me.
The discharge paper of _Beverly Cotes was shown
to witness, and he continued his evidence as follows
I never saw this paper before ; it is not my signa
ture ; it is a forgery ; I recognize the handwriting on
the envelope as that of Edward Young, clerk in
office; this envelope contained a letter purporting
to be from Cotes ; I had an interview with Young
on the subject, and he said he got the paper from
Kern ; he had handed it to him ; I at once wrote an
order, and despatched Sergeant hlcCormack. for
Kern; he came and acknowledged that he had
given the paper to our clerk to send - on;- Kern
said he had been in the habit- of getting men
charged. but that he had never had this man dis
charged; that he had simply notified the command
ant that he had been discharged ; I asked him if he
had received any pay for this, and he replied that he
had not ; I told him that he had no right to sign that
paper; he then spoke of a lawyer, or claim agent,
and then stopped, and said he preferredmot to impli
cate any other person, but would stand it himself;
Young said that hehad also, sent another discharge
in the same way, for a soldier named Williams; I
cannot say how many discharges I have signed ; I
have allowed Mr. Heston to sign my name to de
scriptive lists ; I never authorized this paper, pur
porting to be a discharge,* all discharge papers to be
effective, must go through my hands ; I know from
the official records that Corporal Cotes never was
discharged ; I am positive that it is not in my hand
writing, nor in the handwriting of Mr. Heston.
XII. EDWARD -YOUNG TESTIFIES
Mr. Edward Young, on being sworn; testified that
he is employed as a clerk in the Adjutant General's
office. 1 know nothing about this discharge ; I re
cognize the envelope; it is in my handwriting; I
don't know for whom I wrote it; I know nothing
about the paper but the direction ; it might have
been a card that was enveloped; I directed it for.
Mr. Kern ,• I don't remember any conversation we
may have had ; he merely 'said he wanted an enve
lope directed fora friend of his, and then handed me
the paper; I did not open it ; I put it into the enve
lope, and directed it for Kern ; I think this was in
the month of February ; I never directed but one ;
I have been employed as clerk since the 21st of Fe
bruary, for general duties; have addressed enve
lopes ; I do not recollect this envelope distinctly ; I
think it is in my handwriting; when I put the paper
in, Kern said it was to oblige a friend.
Cyrus S. Halderman sworn.—Upon arriving at the
office yesterday morning, the clerks opened the mail
to make an examination, for we had suspicion that'
something had been going on wrong for some. time;
we hail noticed considerable irregularities; I. re
ceived the papers which Captain Frees has present
ed here; the blank form (a printed document) was
evidently prepared at our office; they were sent to
Washington; !then re-enveloped and sent to the
commanding officer of the company as an applica
tion for a d.escriptive list ; these notices are gene
rally made out by,Mr. Hufty ; the signature of Capt. i
Frees to this paper (holding the forged document n
his hand) is a base forgery for it is an imita
tion of the style in which he makes his signa
ture ; besides this, the dischaige bears no date, and
for this omission we had to overhaul all our books
to ascertain this one case ; I also recognize the
handwriting on the envelope as that of Young ;
When he was charged with complicity with Kern he
acknowledged that he had sent for two blanks of
this kind for Mr. Kern ; he at that time denied
knowing who had written them or signed them ;
have every 'reason to believe, from conversation,
that the papers were prepared by Kern, and that
Young sent them by the. mail ; in fact, he admitted
sending this paper (paper shown) ; he also sent a
paper for one of the 72d boys ; this he placed in one
of our official envelopes.
Cross•examined by Mr. Dougherty.—l never pro
cured a discharge for anybody ; I may have hastened
or assisted some soldiers in getting their discharge ;
have no power to make out a discharge except upon.
a surgeon's certificate or an order from the War
Department; the general has no power to discharge
any soldier; after we found out that Beverly Cotes
had not been discharged we sent for him and he was
taken to the provost barracks, and it was from
him that we obtained that discharge. paper (paper
shown) ,• Beverly Cotes is entirely innocent of any
complicity with Kern ; he said he paid Kern the stun
of $6O to procure the discharge paper; he said he
came to Philadelphia with the chronic diarrhoea ; he
said that he had not been examined by any sur
geon ; he said he did not know that he could not be
discharged without a surgeon's certificate ; he said
that Kern told him that he had a way of fixing it up ;
he said he knew no one in the case but Kern ; lashed
him what arrangement he made with Kern to get his
back pay ; he replied that Kern told him he would have
to forfeit it ; I told Cotes that the paperwas a forgery;
that he. Wall not discharged, but still a soldier; the
handwriting on themargin appears to be disguised,
but r firmly behove that it is the handwriting of
Young. '
THE , SOLDIER TELLS HIS STORY
Beverly Cotes was now called to the stand. He
wawa plain. spoken man—very frank andunreserved
in his answers to the many questions propounded to
him. , He.has a healthy look so far as facial deve
lopments are concerned. The greatest interest was
evinced by the listening spectators to hear his evi
dence. On being called to the stand the United
States commissioner, Mr. Heazlett, remarked to him,
as a cautionary matter, that whatever he had to say
concerning the case under investigation, he was not
bound to criminate himself, that this was a civil
proceeding.
Mr. Dougherty replied that the Constitution gave
the witness the right, that he is not bound to crimi
nate himself in any inquiry, civil, criminal, or mili
tary.
• The soldier smiled, as though he was very much
obliged to the gentlemen, but seemed to signify that
be knew something About the rights of witnesses.
His evidence is as follows :
Beverly Cotes sworn.—l belonged to the 95th Re
giment Pennsylvania Volunteers. 2 about the second
day before I got my furlough, the2oth of February,
I think, I was taken with the chills and fever; I was
very sick all that day; my furlough came about ten
o'clock on Saturday night, and a snow storm set in
as we started from Falmouth; we lost our way, and,
finally, SW Rome of the sanitary commission; 'I
asked them if I could not get to 'Washington, that
I had been sick all the week; they advised
me to come to Philadelphia, and try and get
into a hospital; I got into open cars, and came
Northward; I was very sick; I came to Philadel
phia, and my friends, whom I cannot now recollect,
advised me to Bee Mr. Kern and he would get me
into a hospital ; I went according to their, directions
to"the corner of Tenth and Locust streets; I asked
for Mr. Kern and they directed me to another_
corner ; I wentlhere and was informed that he was
out ; I was here introduced to Mr. Young ;- I stated
to hun the nature of my business, and if it were pos
sible I should like to get my discharge ; he told me
to visit, Dr. King, the medical director, and if my
disease guarantied I would be placed in a hospita
I then mentioned , f2dr. Kern's mime to him, and
Young replied that be would be there the next
morning at eleven o'clock ; I went there at that
time on the next morning and saw him; I stated
the nature of my case to him, and he said he would
procure my discharge; I asked him if it would be
correct, and he replied yes;` about twelve o'clock
on the same day he returned and gave me my dis
charge ; this .was on Saturday, the 28th of February,
the day my furlough expired ; this is all I know
about, the affair ; this is the envelope and the paper
he gave me.
Question. Then, this was all done in an hour 1
Answer. Yes, sir.
Q. Did you pay him ; eo, how much?
A.
.I paid him fifty dollars ; I agreed to give, him
this amount when I find met him.
Q. What arrangement was made about your back
P B s' l
A. He said that would have to be forfeited ; when
I spoke about going to the hospital he replied that
was not necessary in order to obtain a discharge,
that he could get it without this; he assured me
that my discharge was all right ; I was very sick at
that time.
Question by defendant's counsel. Well, sir, you
were not in the habit of lying in bed, when sick,
were yout
Answer (pleasantly given). No, sir; nor in the
habit of lying out of bed.
Sage lawyers smiled, and the spectators laughed.
The witness retired.
A brief argument ensued on the •nature of the
charge, or charges , on which the defendant should
be held. The Commissioner said that he was not
prepared to give his decision in regard to the charge
of forgery, and enticing soldiers to desert. These
are two distinct charges. That of forgery may be
tried under the State law. That of enticing soldiers
to desertcomes clearly under , the United States law.
This point he would like to submit to Judge Cad
walader,-and, therefore, would suspend a decision
until ietct, Monday.
Mr. Dougherty said that on this question he was
ready to go on with the argument. There is no evi
dence that Corporal Cotes wanted to desert. This
being the case, he could not see how his client could
be charged with enticing him to desert. ,
Commissioner Heazlett replied that he did not
think it necessary to enter into any . argument at
the present time on the subject. He would give his
decision at 12 o'clock on next Monday. The defen
dant; Kern, must enter bail in the sum of $2,600 to
appeaf at that time. Cotes entered bail in the sum
of $l,OOO, conditioned that he appears as a witness.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Sharkey tork Kern into cus
tody, and in companytogether they retired from the
office.
[Betel e ldr. Alderman Beitler,

that the things had been stolen. ' 'A arrest cense
' quently was,not made. Some other witnesses were
examined torte the fact of their houses having heel;

fixtures. Mr. Philip Knipe was Quite sure, but was

skeleton or thief keys, known in police parlance as
screws." The prisoner was recognized as George

LEGAL INTELLIGFENOE.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania—Chief .
justice Lowrie, and Justices Thompson,
Strong, and Rend.
The Northampton county list was before the court
all of yesterday's session, and the following cases
were argued:
Allemoee vs. Hufsmith ; from Common Pleas of
Monroe county. Argued by Max Goepp, Esq., for
plaintiff in error, and by A. H. Reeder, Esq., for
defendant in error. •
Commonwealth vs. Cope; from Common Pleas of
Northampton county. Argued by S. L. Cooley and.
A. E. Brown, Esqs., for plaintiff in error, and by H.
D. Maxwell and A. H. Reeder, Earls., for defendant
in error.
Woolshare vs. Searles ; from Common Pleas of
Northampton county. Argued by H. Green, Esq.,
for plaintiff in error. -
durrenie Court at Nisi Prius—Justice Wood.
Commonwealth ex. rel. Malcolm Macneil vs. Wm.
Henry Boyles. This was a writ of habeae corpun to
obtain the custody and possession ot the infant child
of the late Professor Macneil and his wife 'Helen ;
also deceased. The case =is a peculiar one, and
raises an interesting point. Both the parents are
dead, and the child is now in the custody of its
mother's relations.
This writ was sued out:by the father of Mr. Mac
neil, the
. grandfather of the child, and is opposed
by the mother's relatives, who are residing. in Chi
cago, on the ground that the mother executed in
1860,a will, appointing her brother, the defendant
here; testamentary guardian.
From the evidence it appears that the married
life of Mr. and Mrs. Macneil was a very short and
unhappy one; for after six months of wedded life a
separation was had, and proceedings in divorce
commenced, which finally terminated in a decree of
divorce being entered.
Mrs. Macneil moved to Chicago, and quite recently
came on again to Philadelphia, on business, from
whence she went to Brooklyn, where, on the 9th of
the present month, she died: Her will, making-a,
testamentary disposition of the child, was executed
in this city, but is, it is cOntended, by the laws of
this State, void, and of no effect as to that particular
portion. By the laws of Illinois, however, the
widow has power to make this testamentary dispo- -
sition, and accordingly considerable evidence was
heard as to the allegation that the mother was do
miciled at Chicago, Illinois, at the time of her death
in Brooklyn, New York.
On the other hand, it is contended that even
granting the change of the mother's domicile from
this city to Chicago, Illinois, yet this would not ope
rate to change the child'aidomicile, which is of the
domicile of his father.
The defendants assert, however, - that the child,
after the death of the father, acquires the domicile of
the mother during her widowhood. The application
was argued by Pierce Archer, Esq., for the relator,
and by Geo. DI. Wharton, Esq., for the respondent,
and was held under advisement by the court.
Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Sessions—Judge Allison.
AN_ 171EPORTANT COITNTERFEITING CASE
Joseph Branch, James Hewitt,- alias Hughes,
Mary Branch, and Susanna Hughes, were put on
trial yesterday in this court, charged with making
and engraving a. bank-note plate in similitude of
bills issued by the Western Bank of this city, with
the design of forging and counterfeiting the notes of
the said bank. The men pleaded guilty, while the
women pleaded not guilty, and went to trial.
From the evidence it appears that Hughes was at
one time before arrested by Marshal Jenkins, on
suspicion of being engaged in counterfeiting, but a
search of his house revealed nothing to criminate
him, except the possession of some bank-note paper.
He was watched pretty , closely, however, and-ob
served to frequent a house in Emeline street, above
York. This was Branch's house, and a descent be
ing made upon it by Marshal Jenkins and Sharkey,
Chief Detective Franklin and Sergeant. Tryon, of
the police, -a lot of counterfeiting apparatus was dis
covered. Plates for 'counterfeiting the notes of
seventeen different banks, together •with presses,
and in fact all the necessary apparatus for carrying
on an extensive counterfeiting business were found.
These parties were all arrested. The defence set up
was, that the women were the wives of Hughes
and Branch, and were acting under the coercion and
compulsion of their husbands, in remaining in the
house where these operations were carried on. The
Commonwealth alleges that they were not the wives
of Hughes and Branch, but were accomplices, in the
counterfeiting. The case was not concluded when
we closed our report. District Attorney Wm. B.
Mann for the Commonwealth ; John Goforth and
Win. M. Bull, Elms., for defendants.
The jury in the case of John Ilinckle, charged
with perjury, returned a verdict yesterday raorninglof
guilty, but recommended the defendant to the mercy
of the court.

PURIFY THE BLOOD.- NOT A FEW
of the worst disorders that afflict mankind arise from
the corruption that accumulates in the blood. Of all the
discoveries that have 'bet n made to purge it out, none
have been found which could equal in effect AYER'S
COMPOUND EXTRACT OF • SARSAPARILLA. It
cleanses and renovates the blood, instils the vigor of
health into the system, and purges out the humors which
make disease. It stimulates the healthy functions of
the body, and expels the disorders that grow and rankle
in the blood, Its extraordinary virtues are not yet wide
ly known, but when they are, it will no longer be a
question what remedy to employ in the great variety of
afflicting diseases that require an alterative remedy-
Such a remedy, that could be relied on, ,has long been
sought for , and now, for the first time, the public have
one on which they can depend. Our space here does not
admit certificates to show its effects, but the trial of a
single bottle will show to the sick that it has virtues sur
passing anything they have ever taken. Sufferers from
Scrofula, Scrofulous Swellings and Sores, try it and see
the rapidity with which it cures. Skin Disea,ses, Pim
ptes, Pustules, Blotches, Eruptions, Ac., are soon
cleaned out of the system.
. .
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Brysivelae, Tetter or
Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, &c., ishonbi not
be borne while they can be so speedily cured by AYES'S
SARQAPARILLA.
Syphilis f or Venereal 2318eaee is expelled from the
system by the Prolonged use of. this Sarsaparilla, and
the patient is left as healthy as if he had never had the
disease.
Dtgect,sea are caused by serofala. In the blood,
and are nerally soon cured by this EXTRACT. O
